We invite you to comment on General Mills Inc's eligibility for a capped air permit. General Mills Inc owns and operates an oat flour production plant located in Fridley.


A capped air permit would require General Mills Inc to protect ambient air quality and ensure the facility emissions do not exceed 90% of federal thresholds for all pollutants. General Mills Inc must record monthly actual air emissions as well as submit an emissions inventory along with an updated equipment list each year.

Applying for option 2 capped permit

Existing Facility


An Air quality permit is required for certain existing facilities or the construction of new facilities that have the potential to emit a significant level of any regulated pollutant. This facility is applying for a capped emission permit. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) is required to post applications for capped emission permits, so that the public has 30 days to review and comment on the eligibility of the facility for the capped air permit.

Capped Permit holders may be subject to any of the 14 federal new source performance standards listed in Minn. R. 7007.1140 and must conduct an ambient air quality assessment. More information about capped air permit regulations and new source performance standards can be found at Minn. R. 7007.1140.
